Sinus Iridum

Sinus (Small Bays or '' Plain '') - Small gulf, narrow mouth, which extends inland. Ex Sinus Iridum (attached image).

Sinus Iridum, its crater and the Jura Mountains, are a favorite target of all lunar observers.

The mountains always seem to catch the light in a special way, and in good lighting conditions, it has a very interesting contrast mixing the brightness to the darkness of both sides. The low sun on the ground is something to be vaulted, so each small crater stands out as a ring of light. This low illumination also emphasizes the sea and the backs (peculiar and low sinuous protrusions) making them very prominent and easily visible on the flat floor of the bay.

The Promotorium Laplace and Heraclides advance to the sea giving this resource a unique feature that has no equal on the Moon

An area worthy of further study and photography!

Sinus (Baias '' ou '' Small Plain) - Pequeno golfo, boca estreita, que se estende para o interior. Ex Sinus Iridum (imagem em anexo).

Sinus Iridum, suas cratera e as Montanhas Jura, são um dos alvos favoritos de todos os observadores lunares.

As montanhas parecem sempre pegar a luz de uma maneira especial, e em boas condições de iluminação, tem um contraste muito interessante misturando o brilho à escuridão de ambos os lados. O sol baixo no chão é algo a ser vaçorizado, assim cada pequena cratera se destaca como um anel de luz. Essa iluminação baixa também enfatiza o mar e as dorsas (saliências sinuosas peculiares e baixas) tornando-as muito proeminentes e facilmente visíveis no piso plano da baía.

O Promotorium Laplace e Heraclides avançam para o mar dando a este recurso uma característica única que não tem igual na Lua

Uma área digna de estudo adicional e fotografia!

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
